Seems like I'm the only person who doesn't think SMB3 is GOD

If you think SMB3 is too hard, let me introduce you to a few wrist-slitting games called TMNT, Battletoads, Kid Icarus, and Contra. There were many games harder than SMB3 on NES, by comparison its difficulty level is rather moderate.

Kids now have it too easy.

What? Actually having fun while playing games because they don't make your brain explode, cause your thumbs to fall off, and don't cause mortal harm to your TV, is too easy?

No, it was just a poke at NES games during a time when most developers had two options for difficulty levels:

1. Coma-inducing easy

2. Wrist-slitting hard

If you wanted to play most games, you learned to adapt to one of those modes of difficulty.

What was worse, was if you were like me and rented most of your games, because they never would give you the manual.  Usually no in-game tutorials so half the time is spent just figuring out what the heck was going on.

Also, I had to walk uphill both ways to the rental store in the pouring rain
